SCHEHERAZADE, TELL ME A STORY

August 12th, 2011

SCHEHERAZADE, TELL ME A STORY- 2009. Synopsis by Netflix. “When her husband (Hassan Saeed) asks her to tone down the subversive political rhetoric on her program, Egyptian talk show host Hebba (Mona Zaki) draws even more heat by beginning a series that explores the experience of women in contemporary Egypt. As three women speak out about the mistreatment they’ve suffered in a deeply patriarchal society, Hoda must contend with her own disintegrating marriage. Yousry Nasrallah directs this drama.”

Very good review in NY Times on 8/12/11. TRDB.

5/24/13- A very powerful, well acted drama that I recommend to all of you. TRDB.
